- Thomas L. Burdett Was born in Boone county, Mo., March 5th, 1860, and died February 5th, 1897, at the home of his sister, Mrs. F.P. Smith, in Fulton, Mo. He was the son of Thos. L. and Sarah Burdett both of whom have preceeded him to the home of the faithful. Four years ago he left Callaway and took up his abode in Redbluff California where he labored in the Gass and Electric light plant for three years. Finding that his health was giving away he sought the fresh vigorating air of the mountains but after a brief stay, and deriving no benefit from the high lands of the golden state, he returned to the valley but still got no relief. He saw the once strong man fading into a pale, weak, lifeless form and realizing that the end was near, he received to spend the last of his days with relatives and friends at home. He had been at home only sixteen days when the Lord spoke peace to his sufferings and his spirit launched forth to try the realities of an unknown world. When he was approached in regard to his future prospects he said. " I have nothing to fear, I have asked the Lord for Divine help and I know he was given it." And even when his eyes had almost closed in death and he was unable to speak the writer asked him if he was still holdind fast to the Savior and he bowed his head in answer to the question. Four brothers and two sisters thou leavest behind. To await the horrors of the grave. But thou hast passed over the river of death, To Jesus, Who is abundantly able to save.
